Table 1 Association between AF-6/afadin immunoreactivity and clinicopathological parameters in 90 uterine endometrial cancers

From: Loss of AF-6/afadin induces cell invasion, suppresses the formation of glandular structures and might be a predictive marker of resistance to chemotherapy in endometrial cancer
